What more can you say about the Greens under Zack Polanski? Well….

Green Party activists described Jewish people as “an abomination to this planet” in anti-Semitic WhatsApp messages, The Telegraph can reveal.

One member of the Greens for Palestine group, a Left-wing faction in the Green Party, said Jews “murder, bomb and starve” children.

Another claimed the arson attack on four ambulances owned by a Jewish charity in Golders Green, north London, on Monday had been a “false flag” operation, suggesting it could have been carried out by Jewish people. 

A Green council candidate shared posts on social media, making the same claim.

The Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) said its lawyers were investigating the activists’ remarks. It said views expressed in the Greens for Palestine group chat were “straight out of Nazi Germany”.

They were warned – but just couldn’t resist.

A briefing document shared with Green activists last month had warned members not to post anti-Semitic comments online. In a “call for self-moderation”, Greens for Palestine told supporters not to “take the bait” and ask themselves “what this would look like on the front page of a newspaper”.

It said: “Those who oppose us will be looking for the opportunity to say that we are a bunch of unpleasant, vengeful anti-Semites. They will seek to bait us into making statements emotionally, and smear us whenever they can. Don’t take the bait!”.

It added: “Our cause is a righteous one – we are the good guys.”

Ha!

Added, from Jewish News:

The individual responsible for the Green Party’s key political broadcast videos since Zack Polanski became leader has shared multiple conspiracy theories relating to the Hatzola ambulance firebombing this week, including the implication that a “Jewish owned news platform” had prior knowledge of what was going to happen, as well as the accusation that it happened “exactly when they need it to generate support for the war in the Middle East”.

Jeremy Clancy, has worked closely with the Green Party since Zack Polanski became leader, with the videographer helping produce videos for the Green leader back when he was running for the role.…

Mr Clancy shared multiple conspiracy theories on his social media relating to the Hatzola ambulance attack. These included a tweet which said: “CCTV shows three figures starting the fire at 1.45am UK time. This New York-based, Jewish-owned news platform tweeted this video at 2am UK time. Sorry if I don’t buy this complete BS”.

Another tweet shared by Clancy read: “A film crew just happened to be present when the Jewish organization’s ambulances were set on fire in London. Wow! What a coincidence!”

As pointed out in a community note attached to the tweet in question, “The fire was filmed by residents woken by explosions in a residential area and captured on CCTV showing suspects setting the ambulances ablaze; no film crew was pre-positioned.”
